Student Of The Year is one of the most popular film franchises. The first instalment of the rom-com movie starred Alia Bhatt, Varun Dhawan, and Sidharth Malhotra, while the second instalment featured Ananya Panday, Tara Sutaria, and Tiger Shroff. Karan Johar is often asked about the release date of Student Of The Year 3, and the filmmaker once confirmed that one of his most successful franchises will now shift to television. SOTY 3 will not be a film but a TV series. A recent report suggests that Tusharr Khanna might romance Shanaya Kapoor in the third season. Read below to know more.
News18 reported that actor Tusharr Khanna has auditioned for the male lead in the movie and is likely being considered by the makers of Student Of The Year 3. If he is selected, he will romance Shanaya Kapoor along with one more male star who has yet to be finalized.
A source informed the portal, “Auditions for the male lead have been happening for a long time now. Tusharr (Khanna) also auditioned, and it went well. The casting team is impressed and is considering signing him as one of the male leads. But nothing has been finalised as of now."

As per reports, Student Of The Year 3 will feature Shanaya Kapoor in the lead. However, official confirmation and further details are yet to be released. She is still expected to be part of the show, potentially making her debut on streaming rather than the big screen. Apart from her, Alaya F has also joined the cast of SOTY 3, as per reports, which will be directed by Reema Maya, instead of Karan Johar.
Pinkvilla earlier reported that Alaya F will play a parallel lead opposite Shanaya Kapoor in the Student Of The Year 3 series. However, details about their characters and storyline are still undecided.
“Reema Maya will be directing the digital version of Student of the Year. But it will be her way, not mine, because if I were to enter Reema Maya’s world, I would make it more of an illusion—which her name signifies. I just wanted it to be her voice. She made it her own series,” Karan Johar stated.
